Education in Motion (EIM) has celebrated the grand opening of Dulwich College International School Bangkok, a campus the global education group says brings more than 400 years of British educational heritage together with sustainability, innovation and Thai culture.

Located in Bangna, the 40-rai (6.4-hectare) campus aims to become Thailand's first international school to achieve both LEED Gold certification for environmental sustainability and WELL Gold certification for health and wellbeing.

A Ceremony Rooted in Sustainability

Deputy Minister of Education Akaranun Khankittinan presided over the opening ceremony, joined by His Excellency Anand Panyarachun, former Prime Minister and Dulwich alumnus, alongside representatives from Dulwich College in London, EIM and Thai development partner Sakol Sathapat.

Reflecting the school's sustainability commitments, dignitaries watered a native shore eugenia tree instead of performing a traditional ribbon cutting, an act the school describes as symbolising growth, community and environmental stewardship.

Fraser White, Founder and Chairman of EIM, said: "Truly putting our students at the centre, Dulwich College Bangkok is a testament to our commitment to sustainability in education, to academic ambition, and to our vision of nurturing global citizens who make a positive difference in the world."

Campus Design Inspired by Thai Heritage

Inspired by traditional Ayutthaya villages, the campus features low-rise red-brick buildings with Thai-style roofs and indoor-outdoor learning spaces.

Sustainable features include:

  • Rooftop solar panels
  • Recycled wastewater irrigation
  • Low-emission materials
  • Advanced air filtration systems addressing Bangkok's seasonal PM2.5 challenges
  • Tropical gardens serving as outdoor classrooms

Thomas Banyard, Head of College, said: "Our students come first every day at school, from the air children breathe to the quality of teaching. We want children to feel healthy and secure, to be challenged in their learning, and to understand why caring for the world matters."

Curriculum and Growth Plans

Guided by a Students Come First philosophy, the school combines academic excellence with a learning environment designed to support student wellbeing. Dulwich College Bangkok delivers an enhanced British curriculum combining academic rigour with STEAM, entrepreneurship, languages, arts and sport.

Students also benefit from EIM's AI Critical Thinking Curriculum, designed to develop responsible, evidence-based engagement with artificial intelligence.

The school is currently welcoming students from Nursery to Year 7 and will progressively expand to Year 13, with A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma planned as senior pathways.

Dulwich College Bangkok joins the Dulwich College International network, whose 2026 IB graduates achieved an average score of 37.34, compared with a global average of 30.88, according to the group.
